3 1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE 1.1 These guidelines are based on the content of the ANSI TIA/EIA-41 Family of Standards (e.g. AMPS (EIA/TIA-553), CDMA (TIA/EIA-95 and TIA/EIA/IS-2000), and TDMA (IS-54, IS-136)). It is recommended that systems which are based on the ANSI TIA/EIA-41 family of standards and which are deployed outside of the United States follow these guidelines. This is to facilitate international roaming and to minimize fraud. 1.2 For the purpose of these assignment guidelines, the UIM_ID is entered onto the R-UIM by the manufacturer of the R-UIM. The UIM_ID is composed of two basic components, the R-UIM manufacturer s code and the serial number. These guidelines specify the procedure to be followed pertaining to the acquisition, transfer, return and regulation of the UIM_ID Manufacturer s (MFR) Codes. 1.3 These assignment guidelines pertain, in one section or another, to all segments of the UIM_ID. The UIM_ID administrator manages all segments of the UIM_ID, but directly administers only the UIM_ID MFR Code segment. The remaining segment of the UIM_ID, the Serial Number, is directly administered by the manufacturer to which the UIM_ID MFR Code is assigned. 1.4 These guidelines were developed by the consensus of representatives of entities within the wireless sector of the telecommunications industry. 1.5 These guidelines apply globally; however, they do not supersede the regulations, procedures or requirements of any appropriate legal or regulatory authority. 1.6 Equipment identifiers for non TIA/EIA-41 operating modes are not addressed here. If the R-UIM card manufacturer of a multi-mode R-UIM that supports at least one TIA/EIA-41 mode wishes to use only a single equipment identifier, that identifier must conform to these UIM_ID guidelines. 1.7 This document contains the guidelines and procedures for the assignment and use of User Identity Module IDs (UIM_IDs) for R-UIM equipped and approved Mobile Stations. 3

5 3.0 ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS These guidelines are based on the following assumptions and constraints: 3.1 These guidelines and procedures should provide the greatest latitude to manufacturers of R-UIMs while permitting the effective and efficient management of a finite resource. 3.2 The function of the UIM_ID administration will be performed by the UIM_ID Administrator. 3.3 The guidelines and procedures for UIM_ID assignment as set forth in this document, remain in effect until there is either industry consensus or regulatory policy direction to change them. 3.4These guidelines do not describe the method by which UIM_IDs are transmitted across and processed by networks. Network interworking arrangements are contained in other standards, documents, or business agreements. 3.5 The Administrator cannot guarantee that any code is not already in use, whether previously authorized and incorrectly returned or unauthorized. 5

6 4.0 UIM_ID FORMAT AND FUNCTION 4.1 The UIM_ID is a 32-bit binary value which is assigned to the R-UIM. 4.2 Each UIM may be assigned a unique UIM_ID. 4.3 The UIM_ID identifies the manufacturer of the R-UIM. 4.4 The format of the UIM_ID is: UIM_ID MFR CODES AND BIT STRUCTURE Manufacturer s Code 14 bits Serial Number 18 bits In this case the UIM_ID MFR Code is designated as the high order 14 bits while the low order 18 bits identify the unit. 4.8 The UIM_ID does not specify the frequency band, air-interface technology or supported service associated with the MS. 6

7 5.0 ASSIGNMENT PRINCIPLES The assignment principles are defined below. 5.1 UIM_ID MFR Codes are to be assigned and used only for the R-UIM that will be used with ANSI TIA/EIA-41 family of air interface standard mobile stations. (Section 1.2). 5.2 UIM_ID MFR Codes shall be assigned to permit the most effective and efficient use of a finite resource in order to maximize the existing allocated resource inventory and to defer, as long as practical, the need to request additional UIM_ID MFR Code resources. 5.3 Upon application, the UIM_ID Administrator will assign UIM_ID MFR Code(s) for each valid R- UIM manufacturer. The number of UIM_ID manufacturer codes assigned shall be based on Section 6. Criteria for Assignments. The maximum number of UIM_ID manufacturer codes that may be issued on a single application shall be no greater than The UIM_ID MFR Code, as part of the 32 bit UIM_ID, shall not be simultaneously assigned to more than one manufacturer. An unused UIM_ID MFR Code that is recovered or returned from the previous assignee may be reassigned to another manufacturer without limitation. A partially used UIM_ID MFR Code may be reassigned to another manufactuer for use with limited serial numbers if a significant block of serial numbers associated to that UIM_ID MFR Code remained unassigned. 5.5 UIM_ID Serial Numbers are assigned by manufacturers to their produced R-UIMs. A UIM_ID is unique to a single R-UIM card. The manufacturer will exercise due diligence in the design and manufacture of the R-UIM card to ensure that alteration of the factory set UIM_ID is not possible outside of an authorized service center. 5.6 UIM_ID MFR Codes are a global public resource. The assignment of any UIM_ID MFR Code does not imply ownership of the resource by either the entity to which it is assigned or by the entity performing the administrative function. There shall be no monetary value assigned to UIM_ID MFR Code. 5.7 Should a manufacturer transfer production of a type of R-UIM to a different manufacturer, then the use of the assigned UIM_ID MFR Code is transferable to the new manufacturer. See Form D Request for Change in UIM_ID Manufacturer s Code Assignment Information in Attachment The UIM_ID administrator will: Assign UIM_ID MFR Codes in a fair, timely and impartial manner to any applicant that meets the criteria for assignment (Section 6). Address each application in the order they are received and assign UIM_ID MFR Codes from the available pool of unassigned codes based on applicant information provided and historical data. Assign UIM_ID MFR Codes on a first come, first served basis from the available pool of unassigned UIM_ID MFR Codes. UIM_ID MFR Codes will be assigned using the following procedure: Make all assignments based on the procedures in these guidelines (Section 8). Treat sensitive information received from applicants as proprietary and confidential, and not to be shared with non-administrator personnel. Sensitive information is defined as information that divulges billing and financial data as well as rate of production, deployment or any data revealed during an audit. 7

8 5.9 Information that is requested of applicants in support of a UIM_ID MFR Code application shall be uniform and kept to a minimum An entity which is denied a UIM_ID MFR Codes assignment under these guidelines has the right to appeal that decision (Section 13) Entities applying for assignment of or assigned UIM_ID MFR Code(s) under these assignment principles shall comply with these guidelines. Entities already assigned or using one or more UIM_ID MFR Codes prior to the implentation of these assignment principles shall comply with these guidelines A UIM_ID MFR Code(s) recovered or returned to the administrator for reassignment may remain dormant. If no R-UIMs have been manufactured by the previous assignee, the code(s) may be reissued. If, however, R-UIMs have been produced and sold the code(s) may be blocked from future use.. As the need for UIM_ID MFR Codes becomes critical (i.e. only 25% of available codes remain), codes which have been partially used by a previous assignee may be re-assigned with serial number range limitations. That is, if the previous assignee had only produced a limited number of R-UIMs using a contiguous serial number range, the present assignee may use the code to produce R-UIMs with serial numbers that do not duplicate those of the previous assignee There will be an administrative fee associated with an application for a UIM_ID MFR Code(s) As required, applicants for UIM_ID MFR Codes must comply with all applicable regulations. 8

9 6.0 CRITERIA FOR UIM_ID ASSIGNMENT The assignment criteria in this section should be considered by a potential UIM_ID MFR Code applicant before submitting a UIM_ID MFR Code application and will be used by the UIM_ID administrator in reviewing and processing a UIM_ID MFR Code application: 6.1 The number of codes that an applicant may receive per application should be based upon that applicatant s historical usage of UIM-IDs and compliance with the UIM_ID Guidelines. 6.2 The applicant/assignee of a UIM_ID MFR Code(s) must have and provide evidence of authorization, if required, from the appropriate regulatory authorities to produce R-UIMs. 6.3 A UIM_ID MFR Code will only be assigned by the administrator upon receipt and approval of a completed Form A UIM_ID Manufacturer s Code Application. 9

10 7.0 RESPONSIBILITIES OF UIM_ID MANUFACTURER S CODE APPLICANTS AND ASSIGNEES Entities requesting UIM_ID MFR Code assignments shall comply with the following; and entities already assigned one or more UIM_ID MFR Codes should comply with the following: 7.1 UIM_ID MFR Code(s) applicants and assignees must meet all conditions specified in these guidelines. Copies of the guidelines may be obtained from the UIM_ID Administrator. 7.2 Applicants must apply in writing to the UIM_ID Administrator by completing Form A - UIM_ID MFR Codes Application. Copies of all required forms are included in Attachment 2 to these guidelines. 7.3 UIM_ID MFR Code assignees shall: Assign a different UIM_ID to each R-UIM. The manufacturer shall assign the UIM_ID within the range allocated to the manufacturer Assign and efficiently manage the Serial Number associated with the assigned UIM_ID MFR Codes. Maintain up-to-date and accurate assignment records that match UIM_IDs of their produced UIMs. These records may be required for audit purposes (Section 10) Inform the UIM_ID Administrator of changes in the information associated with a UIM_ID MFR Code assignment by using Form D Request for Change in UIM_ID Manufacturer s Code Assignment Information. Changes may occur because of the transfer of a UIM_ID MFR Code(s), through merger or acquisition, to a different R- UIM or R-UIM manufacturer (Section 5.7). The initial assignee of the UIM_ID MFR Codes involved in a transfer occurring through merger, acquisition or other means must immediately inform the UIM_ID Administrator when such a change becomes effective. Timely submission of change information enables the UIM_ID Administrator to maintain accurate UIM_ID MFR Code assignment records Participate in the UIM_ID audit process, when requested (Section 10) Inform the UIM_ID Administrator of UIM_ID MFR Code deployment by submitting Form C UIM_ID Manufacturer s Code Deployment Any UIM Card Manufacturer that has terminated manufacturing of UIMs shall return the Form F UIM_ID Manufacturer s Code Assignment Return within 30 days of the cessation of manufacturing Return to the UIM_ID Administrator, on an annual basis on the anniversary date of the issuance of the UIM_ID MFR Code, a duly completed and signed FORM G - CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH UIM_ID GUIDELINES. If no Form G is returned the UIM_ID Administrator will contact the assignee via registered letter requesting the signed Form G. No additional codes will be assigned to the assignee until they are in compliance with this requirement. 10

11 8.0 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE UIM_ID ADMINISTRATOR The role of the UIM_ID Administrator is to manage the entire UIM_ID resource and to directly administer the UIM_ID MFR Code segment of the UIM_ID. In this context, the UIM_ID Administrator shall: 8.1 Provide to the industry general and specific information on the structure, proper use and management of UIM_IDs for R-UIMs. 8.2 Provide copies of these guidelines and forms to UIM_ID MFR Code applicants and assignees, and assist them in completing the required forms. 8.3 Review and process UIM_ID MFR Code applications as follows: Review the application to determine if all requested information is provided and credible. If not, return the application to the applicant requesting that any deficiency be corrected Inform applicants of the status of their requests using Form B UIM_ID Manufacturer s Code Application Disposition. There are three possible dispositions: approved, denied, or additional information required. Notify the applicant in writing of the disposition within thirty days from receipt of Form A UIM_ID Manufacturer s Code Application. The response will include: If assigned, the specific UIM_ID MFR Code(s) assigned, If denied, the reasons for denial and instructions on how and where to appeal the decision, If additional information is required, the specific information required Request completed Form G Certification of Compliance with UIM_ID Guidelines from assignees after 30 days past the required submittal date in accordance with paragraph Use the following UIM_ID MFR Code assignment procedures: The UIM_ID Administrator shall generally assign UIM_ID MFR Codes in numerical sequence There may be technical considerations or limitations on the part of the R-UIM manufacturer that require a specific assignment or preclude them being able to use the next consecutive UIM_ID MFR Code assignment. These exceptions are set forth below and in the addenda (if any) to this document. 11

12 8.4.3 UIM_ID MFR Code applicants eligible for multiple UIM_ID MFR Codes may request that such codes be assigned in the next available block of numerically sequential codes (excepting those codes reserved or unavailable for assignment, pursuant to Section or any subsequent addenda to these guidelines). In such cases, a separate Form A UIM_ID Manufacturer s Code Application should be submitted for each UIM_ID MFR Code required, along with a cover letter requesting their assignment in a sequential block. 8.5 Maintain accurate and current UIM_ID MFR Code assignment records. Update the records as required to respond to requests for changes in assignment information reported by UIM_ID MFR Code assignees (Section 7.3.2). Respond to these requests within thirty days using Form E Confirmation of Change of UIM_ID Manufacturer s Code Assignment Information. 8.6 Publish, at least quarterly, via the agreed medium, a list of assigned UIM_ID MFR Codes. The list will include the UIM_ID MFR Code number, and the manufacturer to which the code is currently assigned, and the entity contact and number.. Track the number of UIM_IDs assigned and the assignment rate and report this data regularly. 8.7 The UIM_ID Adminstrator shall maintain records of the last manufactured year for a UIM_ID MFR Code range or UIM_ID MFR Code sub range. 8.8 Reclaim assigned UIM_ID MFR Code(s) (Section 9), as needed. 8.9 Direct the UIM_ID conservation program and conduct periodic audits, as required, of UIM_ID MFR Code assignee records (Section 10) The term of the UIM_ID Administrator shall be for one (1) year from the date of appointment 12

13 9.0 UIM_ID MANUFACTURER S CODE RETURN AND RECLAMATION PROCEDURES 9.1 Assignee responsibilities: Upon cessation of R-UIM manufacturing activity, assignees will return UIM_ID MFR Code(s) that have not been used either in whole or in part. An assignee that does not completely use UIM_ID MFR(s) assignments should return the unused UIM_ID MFR(s) to the UIM_ID Administrator as soon as possible. Assignees will cooperate with the UIM_ID Administrator in carrying out its reclamation and auditing responsibilities. 9.2 Administrator responsibilities: During normal auditing processes, if a direct contact can not be made with the assignee, a registered letter will be sent to the assignee address of record requesting that they contact the Administrator within thirty days regarding the code(s) in question. If the letter is returned as undelivered, the UIM_ID Administrator will indicate in the subsequent UIM ID Administrator s report that the code will be made available for reassignment, unless advised otherwise within thirty days. 13

14 9.3 UIM Administrator s responsibilities. Accept all referrals of alleged misuse of UIM_ID MFR Codes (also see section 13.0 regarding dispute resolutions),. Investigate the referral, Review referrals in the context of these assignment guidelines, Attempt to resolve the referral, and Determine the action, if any, to be taken (If the action to be taken is not in conformance with the existing guidelines, the Administrator will initiate the guidelines revision process [Section 12]). 14

15 10.0 UIM_ID RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND ASSIGNMENT AUDITS 10.1 Assignment and management of UIM_ID resources are undertaken with the following conservation objectives: To efficiently and effectively administer/manage a limited resource through code conservation, and To eliminate or delay the potential for UIM_ID exhaustion. The process to achieve these objectives should not impede the introduction of competitive wireless services which use UIM_IDs To promote the efficient and effective use of numbering resources, audits of UIM_ID MFR Code assignments may be performed to ensure consistent compliance with these guidelines The UIM_ID Administrator will track and monitor UIM_ID MFR Code assignments and assignment procedures to ensure that all segments of the UIM_IDs are being used in an efficient and effective manner. Ongoing administrator procedures that foster conservation shall include, but not be limited to, the following: An active reclamation program to reclaim unused or misused UIM_ID MFR Code, Strict conformance with these guidelines by those assigning UIM_ID MFR Codes and UIM_ID Serial Numbers, Appropriate and timely modifications to these guidelines to enhance text that may have allowed inefficient use of UIM_ID MFR Codes, Periodic specific and random audits of assignments and assignment procedures (Section 10.4) The UIM_ID Administrator may initiate an audit of a UIM_ID MFR Code assignee s assignment records. The audit may be precipitated by a complaint from outside the UIM_ID Administrator's organization or by the UIM_ID Administrator. The audit may be initiated if a request for a UIM_ID MFR Code assignment is received from a manufacturer that already has a UIM_ID MFR Code assignment. The purpose of an audit will be to verify the UIM_ID MFR Code assignee's compliance with the provisions set forth in these guidelines. The audit will be performed by the UIM_ID Administrator or by a neutral third party acceptable to the auditee and the UIM_ID Administrator These audits will be conducted at the UIM_ID MFR Code assignee's premises or at a mutually agreed to location and at a mutually agreed to time The UIM_ID Administrator will not copy or remove the information from the premises nor will they disclose the information to non-uim_id Administrator personnel. 15

16 The UIM_ID Administrator will expect to review the following information to ensure conformance with these guidelines and the proper use of the UIM_ID resource: If a new UIM_ID MFR Code has been requested verification that the manufacturer holds no more unassigned UIM_ID MFR Codes that can be resonably anticipated to be exhausted within six months at given or anticpiated production rates. Verification of assignment for each working UIM_ID MFR Code, Date of assignment of each working UIM_ID MFR Code, Implementation date of each working UIM_ID MFR Code, Indication of UIM_ID Serial Number assignment to R-UIMs, and Status and status date of each UIM_ID MFR Code unavailable for assignment; i.e., UIM_ID MFR Codes reserved, aging, pending and/or, suspended Audit results should be used to identify and recommend to the appropriate wireless industry forum specific corrective actions that may be necessary. Examples of specific corrective actions that may be proposed are as follows: Modifications to these assignment guidelines to reflect the specific circumstance revealed by the audit, Additional training for UIM_ID MFR Code assignees concerning the assignment guidelines, Requirements for supporting documentation of future UIM_ID MFR Code requests in noncompliant situations, or Modifications to the process in which records are maintained or UIM_ID MFR Codes are assigned Audit results with respect to UIM_ID MFR Code assignee information and/or recommended UIM_ID MFR Code assignee process modifications shall be treated on a proprietary and confidential basis. 16

17 11.0 UIM_ID RELIEF PLANNING 11.1 When 75% of all the available UIM_ID MFR Codes have been assigned, or assignments are exceeding 10% of the resource per year, the administrator will: Conduct an audit of current UIM_ID MFR Codes assignments to ensure that efficient UIM_ID MFR Codes utilization is in effect, and, if not, Recommend additional procedures to be initiated to effect more efficient UIM_ID MFR Codes utilization, or if efficient utilization is in effect, 17

18 12.0 MAINTENANCE OF GUIDELINES It may be necessary to modify the guidelines periodically to meet changing and unforeseen circumstances. The need for guidelines modification may be identified by the administrator, any entity in the wireless telecommunications sector or the appropriate wireless industry forum. When need for modification is identified by other than the 3GPP2, the identifying entity will submit the modification issue to the 3GPP2 Secretariat. The 3GPP2 Secretariat will coordinate the modification process. Questions or concerns regarding the maintenance of the guidelines may be directed to: 3GPP2 Secretariat c/o Telecommunications Industry Association 2500 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 300 Arlington, VA USA Phone: Fax:

19 13.0 APPEALS PROCESS Disagreements may arise between the UIM_ID Administrator and UIM_ID MFR Code applicants or assignees in the context of the administration and management of UIM_ID MFR Codes and the application of these guidelines. In all cases, the UIM_ID Administrator and UIM_ID MFR Code applicants/assignees will make reasonable, good faith efforts to resolve such disagreements among themselves in timely manner, consistent with the guidelines, prior to pursuing any appeal. Appeals may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following options.: By submitting an application for UIM_ID Codes, accepting these Guidelines, or accepting any UIM_ID MFR Code Assignments, the company agrees that these Guidelines and all disputes arising out of or relating to the application for or assignment of UIM_ID MFR codes shall be governed by the laws of the state of Virginia without giving effect to applicable conflict of laws provisions. The parties further agree that they will first attempt to resolve any and all disputes, differences, or questions arising out of or relating to these Guidelines, or the validity, interpretation, breach, or violation or termination thereof through a meeting of the principals of the parties. Such meeting may be in person, via telephone or via videoconference. If such a meeting does not resolve the dispute between the parties, the matter must first be brought to a meeting of the TIA TR-45 EUMAG. If that meeting does not resolve the issue, the matter must then be brought to the industry experts participating in TIA TR-45. In the event such meetings are unsuccessful, then such dispute shall be finally and solely determined and settled by arbitration in Washington, D.C. in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. In any such arbitration proceedings, the arbitrators shall adopt and apply the provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure relating to discovery so that each party shall allow and may obtain discovery of any matter not privileged which is relevant to the subject matter involved in the arbitration to the same extent as if such arbitration were a civil action pending in a United States District Court. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. All notices required hereunder shall be in writing. The UIM_ID MFR Code applicant/assignee will have the opportunity to resubmit the matter to the Administrator for reconsideration with or without additional input. Guidelines interpretation or clarification questions may be referred to the 3GPP2 Secretariat for resolution. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties, these questions will be submitted in a generic manner protecting the identity of the appellant. Resolution of an appeal to the 3GPP2 Secretariat shall be resolved within 60 days of receipt of the appeal request. Reports on any resolution resulting from the above options, the content of which will be mutually agreed upon by the involved parties, will be kept on file by the UIM_ID Administrator. At minimum, the report will contain the final disposition of the appeal; e.g., whether or not a UIM_ID MFR Code(s) was assigned. 19
